He said in his pre-race interview that they were going to be aggressive all day long, both in the car and on pit road. Should be fun to see what they do.

McDowell's got the lead. Nice!

21 got knocked outta the way, darn

Love seeing Burton continue to struggle. Has nothing to do with him, but I hate how that team pushed Matty D. out to shoehorn Burton into that ride.

I need Chase to win

Brad and Kevin to have bad races and Bubba to have a great one, so MAYBE he doesn’t have to win next week to make it into the playoffs.

this way I get Chase and Bubba both in.

Think it would take an absolute disaster for both the 4 and the 6 to fall below Bubba at this point. Possible, but not that likely IMO.

Yeah I know haha. Sucks he’s had a pretty good season, and could miss out.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

He has. I'd say it's been his most consistent season of his career.

Chase starting the aggressive moves early but short-pitting. Stage points aren't gonna save him, so it's a good move.

McDowell claims Stage 1.

Yeah, it’s a win or nothing at this point. Definitely love the strategy. Gotta do different than the others and hope for it to pay off.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Obviously, Chase isn't in a great spot, but I will say that he's a great driver who excels on road courses and has absolutely nothing to lose. In a sense, he's playing with house money.

 

[Doom]

Ugh, McDowell went over some boxes in the pits and that's not good.

 

[Stellar]

Love that they don't have cautions at the end of stages on the road courses.

I like it as well.
